SFP+ Cage: VOOHU WH291Z02SD0S02 Replacement Pulse SFPPCAGE011-L Comparison Report

1. Product introduction of friendly merchants (Pulse Electronics (Pulse Electronics, a subsidiary of YAGEO Group))

Pulse SFPPCAGE011-L is a single port SFP+ cage for PCI, the drawing title is marked "SFP+ CAGE 1 BY 1, PRESS-FIT, FOR PCI". Both its Cage Top and Cage Bottom are made of copper alloy and nickel surface treatment, and the product is RoHS compliant; the packaging information is 45 pieces per pallet and 900 pieces per box.

2. Introduction to VOOHU alternative products (Suzhou VOOHU Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.)

VOOHU WH291Z02SD0S02 is a SFP+ 1×1 metal cage, made of stainless steel, nickel-plated, and the cage thickness is marked 0.25 mm. The drawings also show pallet packaging, −55°C to +85°C temperature range, and REACH and RoHS compliance. Both are single-port SFP+ cage solutions. Before importing and replacing, the crimping/PCI requirements, PCB layout, Bezel opening, chassis grounding and sample assembly should still be checked with the latest drawings.

3. Comparison of core parameters

The following table is based on the Pulse SFPPCAGE011-L drawings, and only lists the structure, materials, dimensions and packaging information that are clearly marked by both parties and can correspond one-to-one; the close dimensions in the table do not constitute an unconditional direct substitution or PIN-to-PIN compatibility conclusion.

Note:

1. The Pulse drawing title clearly includes "PRESS-FIT, FOR PCI"; the VOOHU drawing title does not directly label PCI or PRESS-FIT. Even if both are single-port SFP+ cages, they need to be confirmed according to the actual installation method and application structure.
2. Both drawings give the cage length and front width, but they are marked in different ways: Pulse uses REF, VOOHU gives values ​​with tolerances. Dimensional proximity is not a substitute for CAD layup, PCB verification, and sample assembly verification.
3. The VOOHU drawings indicate a cage thickness of 0.25 mm and a temperature range of −55°C to +85°C; the Pulse drawings do not provide one-to-one corresponding thickness or temperature values, so they are not included in the comparison table.
4. The Pulse drawings clearly indicate 45 pieces per pallet and 900 pieces per box; the VOOHU drawings only indicate pallet packaging and do not give the corresponding packaging quantity. Please confirm with the latest quotation and packaging information before purchasing in bulk.

4. Applicable scenarios

1. PCI network interface card: For PCI card design of single-port SFP+ optical module interface, the two drawings can be used as a reference for the selection of cage material, size and installation structure, and to check the crimping requirements.
2. Server, storage and network card interfaces: When arranging single-port pluggable optical interfaces on the motherboard or interface card, the PCB hole position, chassis grounding and front panel space should be evaluated simultaneously.
3. Industrial Ethernet and communication equipment: For single-port SFP+ interfaces in industrial switches, routers, transmission equipment and security aggregation equipment, the appropriate cage solution can be selected based on the mechanical structure of the target equipment.
4. New project introduction and inventory selection: When conducting supply chain evaluation of existing Pulse solutions, the latest CAD, recommended PCB layout, Bezel openings and sample assembly results should be used to confirm structural suitability.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can VOOHU WH291Z02SD0S02 directly replace Pulse SFPPCAGE011-L?

Both are single-port SFP+ cages, and the materials, coatings and drawing dimensions can be compared; however, the Pulse drawing clearly states PRESS-FIT, FOR PCI, while the VOOHU drawing does not have the same text annotation. Therefore, it cannot be directly replaced by this article alone. It is necessary to complete the installation method, PCB, Bezel, grounding and sample assembly verification.

Q2: What are the differences in materials and surface treatments between the two cages?

The Pulse drawings indicate that the Cage Top and Cage Bottom are copper alloy and nickel-treated; the VOOHU drawings indicate that the cage body is stainless steel, nickel-plated, and gives a thickness of 0.25 mm. The material system is different, and the structural performance should be subject to the latest drawings and samples.

Q3: Does the VOOHU drawing give the temperature range?

yes. WH291Z02SD0S02 drawings indicate a temperature range of −55°C to +85°C. The Pulse SFPPCAGE011-L drawing does not provide a directly corresponding temperature range, so this article does not make horizontal conclusions about the temperature performance.

Q4: How to compare packaging information?

The Pulse drawing indicates 45 pieces per pallet and 900 pieces per carton; the VOOHU drawing indicates pallet packaging but does not list the quantity. If bulk purchasing is involved, please refer to the current packaging specifications, MOQ and quotation information.
